Thompson Center Hawken hurts my face

When shooting off a bench, you may be crowding over the top.

I have found the best way to shoot guns that kick off a bench is to kneel, keeping your back straight.

Sorry I was out of town and missed your Q. The link below is to what saved my cheek from bruising. The more permanent way is to recontour the stock to your cheek.

Put that on a T/C without some serious wood removal and you will not be able to get your eye low enough to line up the sights. Might work with a scope.

I wouldn't have suggested it if it didn't work. It works well enough for me but probably not for everybody.

I think that might be the permanent answer. My nephew is a wood worker and we will do this. Thank you! I knew there were people out there with a similar problem. Thanks again!

Took down the cheek piece 1/2 inch as per your instructions. Problem solved. Thanks for the info!
